How Swede it is...

Think of Sweden and words like Abba, Ikea and H&M won't be far behind.

But this impossibly gorgeous thumb of land is so much more than an amalgamation of post modern cliches. Sadly, we didn't have time to head up to Stockholm but Malmo, accessible from Denmark by one of the planet's most astounding feats of engineering, the 16km long Oresund Bridge, allowed us a wee nibble on the nation's taonga (along with pickled herring and beetroot cream - for breakfast! Believe me, when you wake up to such delights, you know you're in for an interesting day).

Metropolitan Malmo, we loved your melting pot of cultures, your historic cobbled streets and generous town squares, and the fact that you aren't so cool for school you can't kick off your shoes at the end of the day and have a good time.

About Me

Five foot nothing of organised chaos, I've made my living from words as long as I can remember.
This blog began life in May 2010 when we moved to Bristol, UK with the Animator's job. As I consider the Book of Face to be the work of the Devil, this blog was my way of letting friends and family on the other side of the world know what I was up to.
Headhunted back to Welly, NZ in July 2011, we are now, for the time being, happy to be home.
Kick off your shoes and stay a while....
